Not long now till the next game on Thursday

we will have to perform better than we did against Widnes to get the win this time, but we have decent home record against castleford. Expect it to be a close game.

Only change to the team from widnes i can see is possibly robinson returning... if he does i think he should be in for Lunt rather than wood.

Huby and Ellis coming up against their former club, hope they rise to the occasion and dont let it affect them.

similar crowd to the 5452 that turned up last friday would be good.

Two teams desperate to back up there first wins with a second in front of the Sky cameras is going to make a tense game for the fans!

I can only imagine us Giants and the Tigers starting like a house on fire and that will lead to one of two things.
A scrappy, messy, knockonathon with forced passes and dumb play, OR a first half blow out either way.

I can't imagine a forward battle and a possession game.

Same team as last week for me.

We need a good win to keep up with the teams at the top. COYG!

I can imagine that's exactly what anderson will ask for!!!
A clinical performance will be needed. Look what happened when wigan didn't do that.
We can beat them in the forwards, and we should win the ruck. Spot on tackling to prevent the offload and get them turning round often with a good kick chase.
They are a good team, we have better individuals in many (not all) areas. If our individuals can play as their team then we can win this- it's not going to be a walk in the park though.

Jerry v Carney should be tasty.

Lunt and mullally dropped from the squad. Johnson and robbo in.

I'm sure he will ask for that and probably has asked for that for every game he's been in charge. I just don't think it'll happen.

No Lunt or Mulally

might be an explosion when those two run into each other!

well done anderson on dropping an out of form lunt

robbo back in at hooker with wood interchange

mullally also replaced by johnson

certainly keeping the players on their toes, if your not on form you can lose your place.

Lunt had to be taken out. He's been woeful and appears to have lost his passion (or interest?) in play for the club.

Think it'll be a cracker on Thursday night with us coming through a tense opening 30 minutes. Hopefully a rested and refreshed Robinson will be back to his tough, rugged and clever self and we'll push on from last weeks positive result and performance.

Child as ref so expect ample penalties, inconsistencies across the board. I think it will be very close.

This has the potential to be a very good game. Looking forward to it.
Think Mullally is a unlucky to be out of the 19. Maybe PA is rotating his props.
Lunt's a bit of an enigma at the moment. No idea what going on there - miles off his best but did show glimpses of his old self on Friday.

Is Lunt this year's scapegoat?

Off form maybe but to suggest he has been woeful is a bit much

Brough has been worse

Lunt gone to hull KR on loan for the season. Will this hurt the team?

Not if it explains why he has been so mediocre

See how interested he is for Rovers

has the potential to be a cracking game, however i feel it could be the other way with both teams wary of not losing and trying to pick up their 2nd win a row, i fear it could be a tense forward battle with neither team willing to throw it around much and let the other capitalise on unforced errors, but we shall see.

Brough been worse than lunt ?



anyway goodbye Mr Lunt.

Yes

Brough has been appalling until last week, and even last week apart he threw some shocking passes

Always seem to be good games against Cas...hopefully another one and a win tomorrow.

Going to be a difficult task this! A massive performance to put that many points on wigan! They have a side that work hard for each other and can really shift the ball around the park whilst still being able to grind teams down!
Looking forward to watching the winger prop off between Jerry and carney! Both bull dozing wingers Shame they both play on the left!

Jerry plays on the right wing.

You know when you want to kick yourself for putting something stupid.....yeah one of those moments!

On the plus side of my stupidity jerrry vs carney is on!

Never mind- my mum used to have to write L and R in my wellies and gloves when I went to secondary school

So did mine.

And I still got it wrong.
